Slide 6: Cytokines promote cell functions
Chemokinesis control: Naïve T cells in the absence of CCL21 are round and exhibit mostly Brownian motion. (Courtesy of Darrell Irvine. Used with permission.)
Chemokinesis +CCL21: Naïve T cells in the presence of sufficient CCL21 will polarize and migrate along a protein-coated surface. (Courtesy of Darrell Irvine. Used with permission.)
